There are numbers on the creed; I can see them. It is an Emmie Flap 9018 from 1997.
What bag is this!? All I see is it's called tassel tote in the article.. but I don't think that's the actual name. What style number is this bag please?

I think it was called the Coach Legacy American Icons Large Tote. I don't know the style number. I just remember loving the American Icons Pocket Tote in Emerald that was out at the same time..
Thank you! I was able to find both on eBay. The style numbers are 19997 and 19982. I think the one I posted is too big for me.
Hi Chelsea, welcome! I am a Coach girl so my Dooney knowledge is general, however, I can spot fake Coaches and their accessories pretty well still!Post any questions you have here about identifying Coach bags or accessories, new or old!

Hi girls. I never really visit this board, but I have been buying Coach stuff for a long time now.I'm a huge fan of the Legacy line (even though I don't have any pieces from it), and tons of other styles like the Sabrina. Anyway, I used to just buy stuff at the Coach outlet that I liked without knowing the names. That's fine for me, but now I want to try and list some things on *bay/craigslist, and I don't know their names! I know the MJ board hs a thread called "Name this bag", but I didn't see anything like that here, so I started this thread to ask for any help on naming these bags. I also tried searching in the reference library, but didn't have much luck. Thanks so much-I appreciate all the help!

Thanks for all your help girls-I really appreciate it!

I can't see the details from your pix very well, but Coach will give you the exact name of any item if you provide a serial number to them. Send them an email at [email protected], and you will get a response from them within an hour usually, you can also send them thru USPS if your questions are many, or you just need to learn more about them, and finally you may call their CSR reps if you want your answers sooner. (I apologize for not having their number currently to give you.)
As for the wristlet, I have a million of them, but none of mine have the same turnlock as yours, which basically means nothing. I was hoping looking thru mine, that they might at least carry the creed, but no luck. Regardless of their authenticity, the wristlet is the best accessory ever so hold onto them! Soooo much easier to take it to the gym, or meeting friends for an after work cocktail.
My intention for replying was meant to be sent as a private commentary, but I just became a member of purse forum last week and I am NOT good with technology. If you return a private msg to myself, I can help with literally EVERY Coach question you ever have, and can explain further why I have so much knowledge about their products. Either way, good luck with your bags!
Prava,

Coach doesn't have complete records of every bag they've ever made. Even their internet files only go back to about 1999, and most bags made before then aren't even in their files. Of course, bags made before 1994 when they started using the style number as part of the serial number won't be in their files AT ALL. So there are plenty of situations where contacting Coach is just a waste of time. Even their company archivist doesn't have every number on file - we've found at least one style that he wasn't aware of at all.
Another problem is that bags made in the last 2 years no longer have serial numbers stamped on the creeds. The style number is now buried inside one of the inner pockets on a tiny piece of fabric that a lot of Coach owners don't even know is there, so suggesting they waste their time trying to find a (nonexistant) serial number is just going to lead to frustration. "Identifying" a bag from a style number also cannot and will never prove that a "Coach" is genuine, whereas a qualified pair of human eyes CAN do exactly that. There are a ton of fake Coaches with "correct" style numbers, and we would really be doing a disservice to our members if we just rattled off the name of a bag based just on the style number without examining the photos carefully to be SURE that it's exactly what it's claiming to be.
So MY suggestion is to ask here FIRST. If it's a new style and we don't know the name, then contacting Coach is a good alternative. Otherwise, ask here.
BTW, are you aware that the post you're replying to, even though it's the leading post in this very long thread, is 7 years old? Always check the dates of the post you're replying to, digging up what are referred to as "zombie threads" is often a waste of time, since the person you're replying to may no longer be posting here, or since the question they originally asked may have been answered years ago. Chelssea is still here, but she might not need those particular bags identified after 7 years. And always check to see if someone has already answered the Original Poster's question before replying
Another heads-up. Even though you're confident about your Coach knowledge, we have a special thread in the Coach Shopping forum for authentications, and forum rules require that only recognised authenticators handle those questions. Authentications need to be posted publicly, private authentications by Conversation, Personal Message or email are not allowed.
We appreciate it when people try to help authenticate but the kind of experience and sources of information that are required to do it effectively have to be restricted to posters who have shown their ability to do it accurately. Read the first post in that thread if you have any questions about authenticity or need to have a specific item or online sale listing, or an item already in your collection, authenticated. And take my advice - DON'T trust just your own experience. There are details involved in that process that you probably aren't aware of and have no access to. Authenticating your own items, whether bags, keychains, scarves, shoes, wallets, anything, can be a minefield, and unfortunately we have a few members here who have found that out the hard way.
Welcome to tPF!
ETA - Since I'll probably nag you about it eventually like I do everyone else, I strongly suggest that you boogey on over to Ebay and read the six Salearea Coach Guides. They've been researched, written and posted by two tPF members and even though some of the information could use some updating, they're still in my 'umble opinion, the best set of guides of their kind on the internet. No, I'm NOT modest. But excess modesty is a fault and I have no faults.
So please take some time to read and Bookmark them.http://www.ebay.com/gsr/i.html?uid="salearea"

Hello,
I have some questions about Style # 10329 :
1) What is the official name of the bag? I've seen it described as the Ali and as the Flap bag
2) Is 10329 really vachetta leather or glove tanned?
3) The hardware on this bag had verdigris on it, which a lot of my other coach bags don't. Any idea why this hardware tends to verdigris more than average?
Thanks in advance!
